India trying to divert attention on LoC: Shah Mehmood Qureshi

Tension is currently at peak in India, and this all is occurring due to the steps taken by Modi government

Islamabad: Foreign Minister says India can carry out any misstep on the Line of Control to divert attention from the protests taking place in the country. In a statement, he said tension is currently at peak in India, and this all is occurring due to the steps taken by Modi government.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Indians are protesting against controversial Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 not only within India but across the world. He said those who think that Indian government has buried the ideology of secular India and is imposing Hindu Rashtra and Hindutva philosophy are taking part in these protest demonstrations.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said ceasefire violations along the LoC have increased and fencing has also been cut at very places along the LoC. There is unusual movement of military. The Foreign Minister said India has committed ceasefire violations for over three thousand times since January this year and more than three hundred people have been targeted in these violations.

The Foreign Minister thanked the countries, including Malaysia and Turkey, which raised voice for Kashmiris. He said the independent Human Rights Commission of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has also taken notice of the use of pellet guns in occupied Kashmir on Pakistan’s demand, and investigation in this regard has also been started.
